[Peakoil] Mexico sees future with biofuels.

[Keith Thomas]

Unfortunately, there is a stream of reports showing that the production of biofuel crops in countries without effective controls and restraints leads to deforestation, "soil mining", indiscriminate pesticide use, soil erosion, displacement of traditional land owners, and all the other consequences you would expect from capitalist exploitation of the environment for quick profit.

Mexico has quietly positioned itself to become a potential leader in biofuel production as scientists develop a second generation of fuels derived from sources that don't compete for arable land or with food. Jatropha-based biofuels are being increasingly used in Mexico, and agave is being studied as a new source for ethanol
